Broughton rifle barrels

[Buck 300]

I was told by a gunsmith that Tim at Broughton was leaving the business and was not producing any more barrels and was just selling his current production. Does this ring true with anyone with
personal knowledge?

Does anyone know if this is true?

Doesnt make sense, why would he still be taking orders on his web if hes shutting down.

When in doubt, go directly to the source.

About a dozen [or more] years ago someone started a rumor that they had a Broughton 5C barrel that wouldn't shoot . They claimed Tim North wouldn't stand behind his Broughton barrels soon when threads about the BEST BARRELS popped up Broughton wasn't no longer mentioned . Just one internet BS story and i saw a change across LRH websites .
On my second 280AI Broughton 5C and both needed 1-2 rounds for break in 3 rounds maybe if you clean because you ''think'' you can see an ever so slight blue color on a patch .
Both shot/shoot tiny groups , as good as could be expected .
I hope Tim/Broughton aren't turning off the lights .
